FAQs'

 

1. Is Dubraj rice the only rice variant to get the GI tag?

Ans: No, the Jeeraphool rice from the Chhattisgarh district was given the GI tag by the Geographical Indication Registry in the year 2019. Dubraj is the second rice variety to get the GI tag. This tag gives these rice varieties a unique identity and a very wide market.

2. Why is Dubraj referred to as an indigenous variety of rice?

Ans: The origin of the Dubraj rice is believed to date back to the Shringi Rishi Ashram of Sihawa. These rice grains also find references in the Valmiki Ramayana. The source of the Dubraj rice is Sihawa in the Nagri area. It is an indigenous variety of rice that is very soft to eat.

3. What is the other name for Dubraj rice?

Ans: Dubraj rice is also known as the basmati of Chhattisgarh. Its delicate aroma, non-sticky texture and appetizing flavour have given this rice this name. It tastes great as pulav and biryani and can also be equally enjoyed with Indian curries such as steamed rice.

4. Where is Dubraj rice grown?

Ans: Balaghat is a tribal district located in Madhya Pradesh and is situated exactly near the Agro-Climatic Zone in Chhattisgarh Plain. This region still remains untouched by the differences in the climate chain. Balaghat is a major rice-producing district in Madhya Pradesh, and rice is grown on about 252 hectares of land here. They cultivate Dubraj, or the naturally scented rice varieties, in very low quantities here, as it demands traditional cultivation techniques.

5. What is very special about Dubraj rice?

Ans: The Dubraj rice grown in the Balaghat region is considered to be a religious food as its kheer is always used as food for God Krishna. The rice is very aromatic but is distinct from the basmati aroma, and thus is used for making pudding and kheer. The rice has exceptional nutritional qualities as well. It prevents constipation and is rich in protein, vitamins, fibre and carbohydrates. People with high blood pressure can use this rice variety and control their blood pressure and blood cholesterol levels.

Do you know?

 

The Dubraj rice is naturally grown in Balaghat by local farmers. Only a few farmers are involved in growing this variety of rice, owing to the non-availability of genetically pure seed variants of Dubraj rice. The traditionally grown Dubraj rice is free from chemicals and is 100% natural. It doesn’t have any artificial fragrance as well.

Apka Kisan ensures that Dubraj rice is sourced directly from farmers and is processed in a semi-automatic rice mill before bringing to its customers. The rice grains will be naturally aged and low polished to retain the nutrients and thus will not be shining like other polished rice. You can order your pack of Dubraj rice and experience all the goodness that it has to offer.
